Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application relates to the field of cigarette technology, and in particular to a developing filter rod and a cigarette. Background Technology

[0002] Filter rods are an important component of cigarettes, effectively trapping and filtering tar and other substances in the smoke, thus reducing tar and harm.

[0003] Existing filter rods are typically filled with cellulose acetate bundles. According to airflow dynamics, when flue gas passes through the filter rod, the airflow velocity and flow rate are high in the center, while the airflow velocity and flow rate are low in the periphery. Therefore, the flue gas mainly escapes from the middle of the filter rod, and after inhalation, the end of the filter rod turns yellowish-brown, especially the middle part, which affects the appearance.

[0004] In existing technologies, some methods cover up discoloration by making the cellulose acetate tows colored, but discoloration is difficult to avoid; others use hollow rods inside the filter rod to change the airflow path to avoid end-face discoloration, but the hollow part of the hollow rod has no filling material, so flue gas passes through more easily, resulting in low filtration efficiency for harmful substances in the flue gas; while if the adsorption efficiency of the filter rod is improved by shortening the length of the hollow section, it is still difficult to avoid end-face discoloration of the filter rod. Utility Model Content

[0005] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the first objective of this utility model is to provide a developing filter rod; the second objective of this utility model is to provide a cigarette; this application provides a developing filter rod and a cigarette, in which more smoke flows through the second core material with lower draw resistance, so that the second core material retains more tar. At the end of the filter rod near the mouthpiece, due to the difference in the amount of tar retained, a color difference appears between the filter rod and the first core material, forming a preset shape, thereby realizing the development of the filter rod. At the same time, both functions can retain tar, ensuring that the filter rod's retention effect on harmful substances in the smoke meets the requirements.

[0006] The technical solution provided by this utility model is as follows:

[0007] A developing filter rod includes a filter element and packaging paper wrapping the filter element. The filter element includes a first core material and a second core material, wherein the suction resistance of the first core material is greater than that of the second core material.

[0008] The first core material and the second core material are arranged axially and extend to the end face of the filter rod near the lip end, respectively.

[0009] Preferably, the absorption resistance difference between the first core material and the second core material is ≥60mmH2O.

[0010] Preferably, the first core material and the second core material form text and / or patterns on the end face of the filter rod near the lip end.

[0011] Preferably, the formed characters are any one or more of Chinese characters and letters;

[0012] The resulting pattern can be any one or more of the following: square, circle, oval, heart, star, yin-yang symbol, polygon, animal silhouette, and plant silhouette.

[0013] Preferably, the line width at the thinnest part of the formed text or pattern is ≥1mm.

[0014] Preferably, in each cross-section perpendicular to the filter rod axis, the first core material and the second core material both form the same text and / or pattern as the near-lip end face.

[0015] Preferably, the first core material and the second core material are white or colored; or,

[0016] The first core material is black, and the second core material is white or colored.

[0017] Preferably, the first core material and the second core material are made of cellulose acetate tow.

[0018] A cigarette includes a smoke-generating section and a filter rod, wherein the filter rod is a developing filter rod as described in any of the preceding claims.

[0019] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this application provides a developing filter rod, including a filter element and packaging paper wrapping the filter element. The filter element includes a first core material and a second core material, with the first core material having a greater draw resistance than the second core material. The first and second core materials are arranged axially and extend to the end face of the filter rod near the lip. Because the first and second core materials are arranged axially along the filter rod, and the first core material has a greater draw resistance than the second core material, the smoke entering the filter rod will flow more through the second core material with its lower draw resistance as it flows along the axial direction. This results in the second core material retaining more tar, causing a color difference between the second and first core materials near the mouthpiece due to the difference in tar retention. This creates a predetermined shape, transforming the discoloration of the filter rod from a negative influence that needs to be removed into a usable factor, achieving the development of the filter rod and providing consumers with a strong visual impact and a new smoking experience. Furthermore, although the first and second core materials differ only in draw resistance, both effectively retain tar, ensuring that the filter rod meets the required retention effect for harmful substances in the smoke.

[0020] This application also provides a cigarette, including a smoke-generating section and a filter rod, wherein the filter rod is a developing filter rod as described in any of the above claims, thereby achieving the effects of smoke filtration and predetermined shape display.

Obviously, the described embodiments are only a part of the embodiments of this application, and not all of the embodiments.

[0031] As shown in the figure, this utility model embodiment provides a developing filter rod, including a filter element 1 and a packaging paper 2 wrapping the filter element. The filter element 1 includes a first core material 11 and a second core material 12. The suction resistance of the first core material 11 is greater than that of the second core material 12.

[0032] The first core material 11 and the second core material 12 are arranged axially and extend to the end face of the filter rod near the lip end, respectively.

[0033] To address the problems existing in the prior art, this application provides a developing filter rod, including a filter element 1 and packaging paper 2 wrapping the filter element. The filter element 1 includes a first core material 11 and a second core material 12, with the first core material 11 having a greater draw resistance than the second core material 12. The first core material 11 and the second core material 12 are arranged axially and extend to the end face of the filter rod near the lip. Because the first core material 11 and the second core material 12 are arranged axially along the filter rod, and the draw resistance of the first core material 11 is greater than that of the second core material 12, the smoke entering the filter rod will flow more through the second core material 12, which has a lower draw resistance, as it flows along the axial direction of the filter rod. This results in the second core material 12 retaining more tar, and due to the difference in tar retention, a color difference appears between the second core material 11 and the first core material 11 near the mouthpiece, forming a predetermined shape. This transforms the discoloration of the filter rod from an undesirable effect that needs to be removed into a usable factor, achieving the development of the filter rod and providing consumers with a strong visual impact and a new smoking experience. Furthermore, the first core material 11 and the second core material 12 differ only in their suction resistance, but both can effectively trap tar, ensuring that the filter rod meets the requirements for trapping harmful substances in the flue gas.

[0034] Preferably, the absorption resistance difference between the first core material 11 and the second core material 12 is ≥60 mmH2O.

[0035] Further optimization is made to ensure that the suction resistance difference between the first core material 11 and the second core material 12 is ≥60mmH2O. This difference in suction resistance can ensure that there is a large difference in the path of the flue gas flow, so that the color change is concentrated in the material with low suction resistance, resulting in a clear shape.

[0036] Preferably, the first core material 11 and the second core material 12 form text and / or patterns on the end face of the filter rod near the lip end.

[0037] Preferably, the formed characters are any one or more of Chinese characters and letters;

[0038] The resulting pattern can be any one or more of the following: square, circle, oval, heart, star, yin-yang symbol, polygon, animal silhouette, and plant silhouette.

[0039] The preset shapes formed by the first core material 11 and the second core material 12 on the end faces near the lip of the filter rod can be one or more combinations of text and shapes. Furthermore, the formed text can be any one or more combinations of Chinese characters and letters; the formed patterns can be any one or more of squares, circles, ovals, hearts, stars, tai chi shapes, polygons, animal silhouettes, and plant silhouettes. Through the combination of text and / or patterns, rich visual presentation effects can be achieved.

[0040] Preferably, the line width at the thinnest part of the formed text or pattern is ≥1mm.

[0041] The thinnest line of the text or pattern should ideally be ≥1mm to ensure sufficient core material for flue gas flow and adsorption of color, resulting in a clearer pattern presentation. If the text or pattern is formed by lines (i.e., without color blocks), the line thickness should ideally be between 1mm and 2mm.

[0042] Preferably, in each cross section perpendicular to the filter rod axis, the first core material 11 and the second core material 12 are formed with the same text and / or pattern as the near-lip end face.

[0043] The first core material 11 and the second core material 12 extend along the axial direction of the filter rod, and the flue gas also flows along the axial direction of the filter rod. From the distal lip end to the proximal lip end, at each cross section perpendicular to the axial direction, the distribution of the first core material 11 and the second core material 12 can be the same or different, as long as the materials form a preset shape on the end face near the lip end.

[0044] Further optimization involves forming text and / or patterns identical to those on the near-lip end face in each cross-section perpendicular to the filter rod axis of the first core material 11 and the second core material 12. That is, during preparation, the first core material 11 and the second core material 12 are respectively made into long strips with the target cross-section as needed, and then combined and wrapped with packaging paper 2 to form a filter rod. In this way, the smoke enters the second core material 12 with lower draw resistance, the entire flow path is smoother, the switching of smoke between materials with different draw resistance is reduced, and more tar and other substances are enriched in the second core material 12 with lower draw resistance.

[0045] Preferably, the first core material 11 and the second core material 12 are white or colored; or,

[0046] The first core material 11 is black, and the second core material 12 is white or colored.

[0047] The first core material 11 and the second core material 12 can be selected according to the traditional filter rod color scheme, either white or colored; alternatively, the first core material 11 can be black, and the second core material 12 can be white or colored. When black is not used, the colors of the first core material 11 and the second core material 12 can be the same or different. Furthermore, the colors of the materials within the first core material 11 and the second core material 12 can be the same or different, all of which will change color after adsorbing tar, combining with their original colors to present a predetermined shape effect. When black is selected, since the adsorbed color is indistinguishable in black, the first core material 11, which has high adsorption resistance, is selected as black, and the second core material 12 is selected as white or colored.

[0048] Preferably, the first core material 11 and the second core material 12 are made of cellulose acetate tow.

[0049] The preferred materials for the first core material 11 and the second core material 12 are cellulose acetate tows.
